There is a tremendous demand for musicrst in the United States and Canada and this was shown particularly at. Little Bros. sales suction held in Vancouver last week. Buyers bid keenly for ev- ery skin in the house, in fact the oftfering o1 40,000 501d down to the last kit and damaged pale. It was an eye opener to the auc- tioneers who had found tho buy- ing light at earlier sales. Prices for beaver, ranch and wild mink. marten and timber wolf were n“. Cllflflized. No foot, lynx, or fisher were offered. The Company's re. port stated-MUSKRAT - 40.000 091300. 100% 603d at an advance of 10%; Yukon ones and two: extra large and large heavies bwuBI-‘i- 03.04 to $3.15; these were the highest prices.

We noticed a despatch in ins papers the other day stating that one oif the leading furriers of Paris wasn‘t showing any long haired furs.

Omar Brager-Larsen in speak- ing at the International Fur Conference at. Charlottetown gave some interesting information re- garding the part played by Nor- way, which of course is the larg- est competitor canada has with the exception of the United States. He said: ‘There are no special taxes on fur farms in Norway. no licenses required to operate a farm but one must obtain permis- sion to build either fox or mink farms, The Norwegian govern- ment does not subsidize our breeding industry in one way nr another. Our government does not give ua any direct help but the Ministry of Agriculture helps us in research wank and also helped, us build up the regulations that were considered necessary to protect our marketing. There is a law which stipulates that a tax of 2% on t/he sales price must be deducted from all fox and mink furs sold, t-he mc-ney derived from

that be one of the things for us to go in for to try to prove that fur is NOT a luxury item. that life in the eyes o! a woman exists not only on food and clothes, but life must also enjoy that which brings pleasure such as possessing lovely furs. At the International meeting held at Bosle. March. 194a. Mr. Hollander 0f Germany said Iii we could build up a strong organization we could perhaps arrive at persuad- lnx governments that the fur in- dustry is not a ‘luxury industry’ but one which all over the world gives pleasure and joy to people as well as employment to thous- ands af workers. But it, i5 My, only this barrier which stops im- port there are other very detrimental ones high sales tax and high duty,

“In England a country which bought and consumed from 100.000 to 160.000 foxes before the war. very few can he importer! and even if the pelts were im_ ported there is a sales lax im- posed of abdut 66%. In the United States the sales tax is 20%; in Ital)’ the tax including duty reaches about 50%; in Argentina the tax is about 10".; iin Canada there is a processing and sales tax). Before the war it was rei_ atively gasy to sell furs because every country or most countries could import. Today the situation is much mOre difficult and it i; clear to you and the Norwegians who live by ermort, that some-

thing has to be done, v

"Before the war we exported 80% of the 400.000 fox pelts pro- duced to countries which refuse to take a single pelt now. Nor- way tried to obtain trade agree- ments with other countries to in- aluds furs. This was difficult be- cause people cannot eat furs. In tow countries do they consider furs to be a necessity. but. in Spite of all that we obtained trade agreements with France, Bcfgium, Holland. Hungary and C:e<~ho_ Slovakia enabling us to nxpnn between 50 and on per cent o! our production under this trade agreement. 0f coirrse then non. pie had to give us something in return and they gave us some. thing which was rim entirely ne- cessary. The articles which came into our country through trade agrearncnta were higher priced than they which were exported. That eacplrains why the Norwog- ian average price for fox pelts sold at the five sales held in Oslo this year are as follows s34

inum Foxes; $20. for Blue Foxes; ‘~717- for Mink. When we realize that. the United States is pro- tccted by a 37"."; duly then you will understand how mIIOh high- cr these prices are than those obtained in North America,

such tax becomes the property as the trade organisations con- cern, in our case the Norwegian Fur Breeders’ Association. and that money must be used for thr prconoticn o! fox and mini; furs This tund enabled us to takr steps to stabilize the industry arr’ promote the sale of pelts. No lux- ury taxis ciharged on the sale cf furs in Norway today. The luxury tar which was enforced some time ago was withdrawn one year ago. Like so many other countries Norway has its export and import. re- strlctiona. No fur pelts can be imported into Norway unless the importer obtains a special license and this is diflficult to obtain. On the other hand no fur pelts can be eraported from the coun- try without apeclal license.

i Iii looirfrg over the interna- tional picture f find that in poac- tically the whole world one can feel the presence of existing high Stroll! walls .... not walls such‘ as one were up against before the war (duty and quote), but wallia that are even more ais- oourastns tnoort not per- mitted. In Argentina. for example there are no import licenses granted. ln Chile Import not per- mltted at slL In Peru no import licenses granted and ao on. the only country in South America which permits some import is Venezuela. It is not very much without applying for special lic- enses. All other countries have closed doors. where tnport is per- mitted only alter quotes have been obtained.

"It seems evident that. this is one of the main reasons (or exist- ing sales problems. This is in fact so important that we interna- tional breedera must In one wily or another try to break down all these existing barriers. Why do these barriers exist? I asked the question in Argentina. and the ofliclala said we do not need your fox pelts. We need oil. ma- chinery, cotton, paper. fish but.

not furs. and it. was like that all over south America.
